I prefer to pay CodeWeavers for CrossOver Games, since they contribute back to Wine. Last time I checked, Transgaming had contributed all of three minor patches over a period of five years. It's definitely a philosophy thing, not a money thing.
The United States is not Greece. The U.S. Congress and Senate that passed the Magnuson-Moss Act have no authority in Greece. The Magnuson-Moss Act does not apply in Greece.
Is that some strange combination of magnetic and medical? My grandmother has some magnetized bracelets that are supposed to help with arthritis; I suppose they could be magnetical...
iPhone users are already Apple users, which mean they're willing to waste their money on overpriced shiny white plastic. So, obviously, you should develop all your apps for iPhone, since they're all rich money-burners anyway, and they'll be willing to pay for anything.
Or not. iPhone apps have plenty of "piracy" too. As commented in many articles: "correlation != causation"
There are lame thieves on every platform, and most of them are stupid, so they're probably unlikely to use the unfamiliar OS that requires some work and thinking to learn to use, especially when the pirated Windows games and applications usually need a Windows-based patcher, keygen, or whatever.
Really? Humble Indie Bundle stats show Linux users are more likely to pay at all, or pay more, or both. As of this post:
Total revenue: $955,984.86 Number of purchases: 126,091 Average purchase: $7.58 Average Windows: $6.38 Average Mac: $8.51 Average Linux: $13.72
The Linux average is more than double the Windows average. Linux users are not the least bit unwilling to pay for something, if it is worth paying for. "Piracy" (http://29.media.tumblr.com/4nZBASoSAd79pgh9yEG2ZCPi_500.png) isn't the problem. If you make a good game, people will buy it, and even if some obtain it without paying, you'll make money. If you make a game that sucks craptastic diarrhea, once a few people buy it and tell others that it sucks, there won't even be "pirates" to play. The "pirates" aren't the problem; the craptastic lack of quality is the problem.
Last time I checked, universal remotes were "universal" because they supported practically any device, not because practically any device supported them. That little button combination you push to program the remote makes it send the right signal so the TV understands what you're telling it to do.
It is generally more practical to design a controller that can control many things than to design a device that can be controlled by many things, when there is no single standard for communication. There are many C++ compilers, and they can target many types of CPUs. Designing the CPU to support many different types of code would be horribly inefficient and expensive.
Why can't people just accept the fact that a dead body is a DEAD BODY. Once you've had a funeral, the carcass is a potentially valuable resource that should be used, not stuffed six feet under to rot.http://news.slashdot.org/firehose.pl?op=view&type=story&sid=10/11/17/0441202#
...Bleary-eyed I didnt notice it was copy written and reordered some of it...
What is this term "copywrite" thing that has a past tense of copywritten? I've never heard of it before. Maybe you meant copyright, or copyrighted? Such a great author/editor/proofreader you are. Perhaps you should hire some of those extra staff editors and proofreaders you mentioned...
PHP is the only language that has such exploitable vulnerabilities. Windows, which is not programmed in PHP, has never had exploitable vulnerabilities.
...except for the little-known fact that every single legislator and President (who chooses the Supreme Court) is elected by the citizens -- with no exceptions.
Except for the little known fact that every single presidential election is really done by the electoral college, of which members are free to choose to vote entirely differently than the general public that elected them.
That's raw pixels going across there... and there... and there... and over there, too... and there... ooh, look, another one! DVI and VGA were compressed and then decompressed on the monitor... or not.
Video: 1920x1080x48bpp = 9532800 bits = 12441600 bytes = 12150KiB = a little under 12MiB per frame. At 60Hz, that's ~712MiB/s. For normal people (I have no statistics, but I very much doubt more than a tiny percentage of people can see much difference between 32bpp and 48bpp), it's closer to 475MiB/s. Audio: Maximum spec is just over 4.6MB/s.
Only (480MiBx1800s) 864GiB per half hour:)
A striped set of SSDs just to timeshift seems a bit expensive, unless you plan on selling "unlicensed" DVD copies in China:)

For that, you'd first have to find a company called MINORSOFT.

Neither is there due process in fascism.

Their really teaching you good, are'nt they?
Your punctuation aren't in the right place.
When do you start to call it 'America'? Prior to Columbus, it sure wasn't.
No, that's what you call Columbia. You want Amerigo Vespucci.

How does "treat everybody fairly" equate to "bog it down"?
Laissez faire... Have we already forgotten banks, bailouts, and taxpayer-funded bonuses?
